    If you don’t like it move on by. Tough if you don’t.

    Yes, however did they misjudge the levels of impatience in the current day and age?

    They should have expected grown adults to throw hissy fits because there isn't a game of football.

    Do grow up. If you don't think games should have been cancelled just say so and leave it at that. You're starting to make Fordy sound like the voice of reason.

    I don’t for a minute think it’s that at all JB, today’s cancellations isn’t a problem for me , I have posted such plenty of times, next week is different altogether . However I wish people could explain why other sports and function all carry on as if nothing has happened. I take it like this, if the games go ahead fine, it’s up to individual clubs to agree or not to play. Then supporters of either side have a choice to attend or not. The people like me who choose to grieve in my time in my way could attend as normal and participate in a notable one or two minutes silence, bringing all the fans together. Those who disagree the game shouldn’t be played can stay at home and mourn . Based on the poll I saw earlier there would have been in the region of 11k at City if they had been at home today? ( Not scientific I know but an indication) . Freedom of choice in action which all political or non political leaning folks should aspire to?

    If it was on, I'd have gone, but it's not, so I didn't.

    That's all I can really tell you.

    Different events cause different people to have hissy fits.
    I’m interested to know what kind of event or cancellation of an event would trigger your hissy fit?

    It would be interesting to hear from EFL and PL their logic behind the postponements. I do think that it could be down to police forces pulling their police officers due to rescheduling due to plans for the funeral but that is just speculation on my part and that doesn’t explain why kids football was stopped.

    I think a minute silence or singing of the national anthem would be 100% respected at Valley Parade.

    However I don't think this would be replicated at games up and down the country with a few clubs instantly springing to mind.

    That is your reason for the FA'S reaction.
